Dosing Pump Flow Calculator
Understanding Dosing Pump Flow Calculation
The Fundamental Formula
LPH = (Volume in ml × 3600) / (Time in seconds × 1000)
Step-by-Step Explanation
Convert ml to Liters
Divide volume in milliliters by 1000 to convert to liters
Volume (L) = Volume (ml) / 1000Convert Seconds to Hours
Divide 3600 seconds (1 hour) by measured time
Rate (per hour) = 3600 / Time (sec)Example Calculation
500ml collected in 30 seconds:
LPH = (500 × 3600) / (30 × 1000) = 60 LPHBest Practices
Always measure for ≥1 minute to account for pump pulsation
Use calibrated measuring equipment for accurate results
